This October, Acclaim Comics and Wizards of the Coast offer fans of the
Magic: The Gathering trading card game a taste of paradise...only to take
it away! As a prelude to the release of the newest expansion set,
Homelands, Acclaim's Armada line premieres its first prestiege format
comic, Magic: The Gathering--Homelands. This 64-page book, filled with
the exploits of heroes, villains, and legends from the furthest reaches
of Dominia, is written by D.G. Chichester of Daredevil fame, fully
painted by Rebecca Guay of Vertigo's Black Orchid, and featuring a
painted cover by none other than the brothers Hildebrandt.
 
An epic fantasy that spans the universe of Dominia over the course of
centuries, Homelands is the story of the powerful planeswalkers Feroz and
Serra, and their efforts to create a paradise out of a world ruined by an
ancient war.
 
In the centuries that pass, Feroz and Serra establish strong bonds with
the Anaba Minotaurs native to that plane, especially the noble Sandruu.
They create spectacular magical constructs, such as the renowned Serra
Angels, and must confront deadly enemies, such as the notorious
planeswalker Taysir. Along the way...they fall in love.
 
But slowly on the outer edges of perception, a dark serpent rises within
their eternal paradise. The Baron Sengir has come into the possession of
the dreaded Apocalypse Chime, said to have destroyed the world in
antiquity. As he begins his rise to power, he becomes a shadowy reminder
that playing God has irrevocable consequences!
 
In addition to an epic fantasy story, the Homelands prestige format comic
will also contain maps, illustrations, timelines, creator profiles, and
gaming tips for the Magic: The Gathering--Homelands expansion--making it
an indispensable addition to any Magic fan's collection.
 
As an added bonus, each issue of Homelands will be shrink wrapped with
one of three rare and powerful Homelands cards. Together, these cards
have the ability to defend, dominate, and destory the haven that
is--Homelands!
 
THREE MAGIC CARDS IN HOMELANDS
In each copy of the Homelands prestiege format comic, one of three Magic:
The Gathering cards classified as RARE will be inserted. Here's a preview:
 
Apocalypse Chime - The Chime is an ancient artifact that might once have
been used to decimate the world that would eventually be called
Homelands. It is still said to exist in the depths of Baron Sengir's
stronghold. Use this card in a Magic: The Gathering game duel, and all
Homelands cards are instantly removed from the game! DESTROY!
 
Baron Sengir - This shadowy entity lurks on the darker edges of the
Homelands, acquiring his legendary status. It is said that he will one
day rise to command an entire nation of vampires. At his beck and call
will be a dreaded army of the undead. DOMINATE!
 
Feroz's Ban - According to all accounts, the planeswalker Feroz sealed the
Homelands from the rest of the infinite planes of Dominia, effectively
making his world invisible. Feroz is loathe to use creatures to fight his
battles. Feroz's Ban makes it more difficult to summon creatures. Thus,
battles must be based on skill and strategy rather than brute force. DEFEND!
